The Boston Bruins have released Peter Mueller from his PTO.

An unfortunate break for Mueller, who hasn't played in the NHL since scoring 17 points in 43 games for Florida in 2012-13. His value is limited at best in fantasy, but one wonders if this isn't then end of the NHL-road for the former first round pick in 2006. Sun, Oct 2, 2016 07:42:00 PM

Peter Mueller "looked good" on the opening day of training camp, according to Bruins assistant coach Joe Sacco.

Sacco is familiar with Mueller from their days together in Colorado, where Sacco was the head coach. "I only saw him for an hour on the ice and I really haven’t had a chance to talk to him too much. But he looks good," said Sacco. "I coached him at the World Championships a couple of years ago, too, when he was playing over in Europe and he started to look like he was getting back to his old form. Today was only Day 1 and he was only out there for an hour, so he’s in the same boat as a lot of other guys. He’s being evaluated on a daily basis, and you hope he can increase his play each day." Mueller has a good combination of size and skill, but head injuries have really hampered his play. The 28-year-old spent the last three seasons playing in Europe. Even if he's able to crack the Bruins roster, don't expect him to have any significant fantasy value. Sat, Sep 24, 2016 09:42:00 AM

Peter Mueller has re-signed with Kloten of Switzerland's National League A.

He was hoping to return to the NHL this season, but he ended up being demoted by the St. Louis Blues and decided that the two sides should part ways. He cleared unconditional waivers on Wednesday and had his contract terminated, which freed him up to return to Europe. Mueller had 24 goals and 46 points in 49 games with Kloten last year.

Patrice Bergeron has netted 11 goals and he has added seven assists in his past 13 games.

Bergeron has scored 27 goals this season. He should be able to surpass his previous career-high total of 32, which he established in 2015-16. Bergeron has averaged more than three shots per game in each of his last three seasons. "I'm trying to shoot more, and I'm trying to put the puck on net," Bergeron said. "Obviously when you are in a tight game, you are trying to make a difference and find a way with our line and trying to make something happen."

David Krejci scored the game-winning goal with 64 seconds remaining in regulation in Tuesday's 3-2 win at Edmonton.

Krejci posted three shots on goal with a hit over his 17:23 of ice time while winning eight of his 13 faceoff attempts. The game-winning tally was his first since Oct. 19, and it was the first point after six scoreless outings dating back to Feb. 6. It has been rough for Krejci, who has just 11 goals and 28 points. He is struggling, but just one season removed from 54 points. The buy-low window is wide open, as he is just 31 and still capable of producing big numbers.

Ryan Spooner picked up a couple of assists in a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues.

Spooner earned helpers on assists on goals by David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron (power play), bringing him to 21 points in 29 games this season. David Backes scored into an empty net with one second left on the clock.

Nash has generated three goals and four points in the last four games. He has reached the 10-goal milestone for the first time in his NHL career and he has a personal best 26 points through 54 contests.

Brad Marchand potted the game-winning goal in overtime Monday in a 2-1 victory over Calgary.

Marchand scored on breakaway late in the extra session for his 22nd marker of the season. His eight-game point streak came to an end this past Saturday, but as expected he didn't stay off the scoresheet for very long. Marchand has amassed 55 points in 44 games this campaign.

The New York Rangers reportedly want Jake DeBrusk included in a potential trade for Ryan McDonagh.

DeBrusk has a bright future ahead of him, but you have to pay through the nose if you want to acquire a defenseman like McDonagh. The Bruins forward has 11 goals and 29 points in 51 games this season. Boston GM Doug Sweeney has a lot of young assets at his disposal, but trading DeBrusk would be a risky proposition.

David Pastrnak netted his 22nd goal of the season Monday against Calgary in a 2-1 overtime win.

Pastrnak opened the scoring in the first period for Boston's only regulation marker of the contest. Patrice Bergeron picked up the only assist. Pastrnak didn't have a point in his previous four outings following a 10-game point streak. Brad Marchand won the game in overtime with a nice move on a breakaway with 1:24 left until a shootout.

Danton Heinen is projected to play on Boston's top line Tuesday against Anaheim.

Heinen logged some power-play time alongside Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak last Thursday and he scored a goal. Now, he will get to play with them during even-strength situations, while Brad Marchand is suspended.

David Backes scored his 10th of the season in a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.

Backes has points in back-to-back games for the first time since early January. He and Ryan Spooner were the only goal scorers for Boston on Saturday night. Backes now has 10 goals and 22 points in 36 games this season.

Noel Acciari scored a score while dishing out two hits in 13:06 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 win at Edmonton.

Acciari also won his only faceoff attempt, but the big news was his first goal in five games since coming off the injured reserve list. Despite the lamp lighting on Tuesday, he is only worth fantasy consideration in the deepest of pools at the moment.

McAvoy registered an assist and a plus-3 rating in 5-2 win over Calgary on Tuesday. He has played in six games since he returned from a procedure to treat an abnormal heart rhythm. The rookie defender has five goals and 26 points in 51 games.

Brandon Carlo put a lot of the blame for Saturday's 4-1 loss to Toronto on himself.

Carlo was minus-two and took a hooking penalty that led to a Maple Leafs' goal. "I was kinda the Achilles Heel tonight with my mistakes. If I didn’t make those we probably would be ahead in those areas. It’s unfortunate, but maybe next time we’ll get a good balance and my mistakes will be covered," said Carlo. "I had a bad night. I don’t know really what to say about that. I just tried to make plays and they didn’t really work out. [They] ended up in the back of the net. Those things can’t really happen all the time." Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy wasn't as hard on Carlo and believes that the defenseman will bounce back. Carlo has three assists and a plus-four rating in 16 games this season.

Adam McQuaid logged 15:12 of ice time in his return to the lineup on Wednesday night from a broken right fibula.

McQuaid had been ready to play for a couple of weeks, but he had to wait until someone on the back end was unavailable to get back into the lineup. Kevan Miller was absent due an illness against Montreal. McQuaid had four shots and two blocks in his first contest since Oct 19. He also saw 1:34 of penalty kill time, including 1:09 during a 5-on-3.

Matthew Grzelcyk bagged his second goal of the season in a 3-2 victory on Tuesday at Edmonton.

Grzelcyk netted the game-tying goal midway through the final period, and eventually David Krejci struck with 64 seconds remaining in regulation to propel the team to a win. The rearguard Grzelcyk also added a plus-1 rating and hit over 16:26 of ice time. He has come alive with a goal and five points over his past seven games, but he remains useful only in deeper fantasy pools unless he keeps up the pace for a longer period.

Nick Holden did not suit up in Tuesday's game against the Edmonton Oilers.

Holden was acquired from the Rangers on Tuesday, but he didn't make to Edmonton in time for the game. He has three goals and 12 points in 55 games this season. He'll make the Bruins defense deeper, but he won't have any fantasy value.

Anton Khudobin allowed just two goals on 20 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 victory at Edmonton.

Khudobin was rarely tested, as the Oilers squeezed off just three shots in the opening period. One of the shots went in after an unassisted Ryan Strome goal with 1:31, perhaps catching Khudobin napping after a lack of work. He gave up a Jujhar Khaira marker midway through a busier 11-shot second, and he stopped all six shots he faced in the third. When he starts Khudobin is a solid fantasy option in pools allowing daily transactions, and he can be an effective mid-tier DFS option as well.
